I have an old circular saw blade that I want to make a knife out of, but I read somewhere that the metal used in newer blades doesn't make a good knife. Is there some way for me to tell? I'm going to be making this by stock reduction, do I need to anneal the blade first? Last question, how much maintenance does this steel require?
Thanks in advance.![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
